I've been through these forums a bit trying to find the best way to get SMS alerts out of Zenoss. There are several threads on the issue and a variety of solutions are presented. Some seem to work, some don't. Some use zensnpp, some don't. None of them seem easy to implement.
Here's the goal: I have an external modem and access to a dial-up SMS gateway service. I'd like to have certain critical events trigger an SMS alert that will go out the modem and show up on three or four cell phones (one of them mine). What's the easiest, best-supported way to get this done?
I have considered using web-based SMS gateways to get this done, but that is unsatisfactory. We have a non-redundant Internet connection. If it goes down, no alerts will ever go out, thus the modem. POTS lines just don't go down, even in a power failure (and a UPS will keep Zenoss and the modem alive long enough to let us know the power is out).
Can somebody help a poor guy out? 
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one out here who'd like a relatively quick, non-hacked-together solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance!
